Hmm, I'm surprised that you'd advocate automatic reloading, as it would (at a minimum) stat a file on each request. Do you think it should be an optional knob to specify whether to check for changes? If so, what should be the default?
I'd like a really easy way to reload external methods. It probably shouldn't be automatic, but it should be simple and obvious.
I presume by the leading part of the question that you would feel more comfortable doing your processing in Python than all-DTML. If Zope had a "Python Method" object, perhaps only usable by VERY privileged users, perhaps only in the Control Panel (say, in a Product), would that help?
This would be absolutely wonderful if done right. Ideally, it should be possible to export Python methods with the rest of a site. Supporting this might require some new security work, though.
Heh heh, if I had a dime for the number of alpha volunteers for the portal toolkit :^)
Ooooh! Pick me! Pick me! ;-) Cheers, Eric
